Abstract

Service-oriented architectures are a new paradigm for business information systems. Providing flexible interfaces, dynamic reconfiguration of software systems, i.e., business information systems, becomes possible during runtime. However, there are critical issues in quality management of the resulting systems. In this paper we will discuss challenges in testing resp. ensuring quality of service of dynamically orchestrated systems and present approaches to automated certification of service-oriented architectures.
